jayne elliott

Jayne was born in Wales and moved to Cornwall with her family as a young child. 

Her love of painting and art has always been a major part of her life. Whether teaching art, running her own gallery (The Summerhouse, 2011-March 2023) or working in a gallery (Tate St Ives), she has always tried to make time to paint and create. 

Jayne has worked in both porcelain and paint. Her love of words means that narrative is also important to her. 

Since 2020, Jayne has decided to devote her time fully to her passion. Her latest body of work, Hiraeth, is the result. 

Jayne’s work is a response to dreams and emotions, with an abstract realism element. She works in oils 

An artist with an ephemeral style, her work is atmospheric with a sense of space and also feeling.
